1Council Directive 92/59/EEC of 29 June 1992 on general product safety (OJ 1992 L 228, p. 24, ‘the directive’) established on a Community level a general safety requirement for any product placed on the market that is intended for consumers or likely to be used by consumers. To that end the directive set up a system of rapid exchange of information in emergencies involving product safety. This is the ‘Community rapid alert system for food and feed’ (‘RASFF’), in which the States signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), including the Republic of Iceland, also take part.
